Remnant 2 is easily called Dark Souls with Guns because it features exciting action RPG where your character runs and guns enemies & takes down bosses. There is a diverse selection of primary & secondary weapons grouped into different starting classes that you can pick later on regardless of what class you run with. To assist players, I’ve created a comprehensive Remnant 2 weapon Tier List guide, taking into account attributes such as damage, range, and critical hit chance stats.
Key Takeaways
- Remnant 2 offers primary and secondary weapons divided into handguns, long guns, and melee weapons categories for different starting classes.
- Players can choose weapons outside of their initial class later in the game.
- All weapons in Remnant 2 are ranked based on various stats including damage, range, critical hit chance, stagger modifier, and weak spot damage bonus.
- The S-tier represents the best weapons Remnant 2, possessing top-notch attributes, special abilities, and mutators, and other tiers are considered a little inferior to the S-ranking one.
